If you make $200,000 you will pay 40% tax.
If you make $200,000,000 you will pay 0-2% tax.
This is what you should be angry about.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
US federal top marginal income tax rate is 37%, not 40%; effective federal income tax for $200k earners is typically 13-18% while top 1% average 26% and pay 38% of all such taxes (IRS data). The $200M claim confuses realized income with unrealized wealth gains.

With the evolving Cornell University story, I have been reflecting on my fourth and final year at St. Thomas University in 2015 in Fredericton.
One of my professors, Jan Wong, wanted some of our class to work on an investigative series on rape on campus.

This is Emma Sulkowicz
She was a Columbia student who spent months carrying the mattress she was raped on across campus in 2012
Can you imagine her rapist Paul Nungesser was never expelled or criminally charged
So she decided she will carry the weight herself. Every day, across campus, in front of everyone
the same thing happened at Cornell university Somehow the school failed to confront the 7 rapists, and the survivor was left carrying the weight
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Columbia found Paul Nungesser not responsible after investigating Sulkowicz's allegation. The DA declined charges for insufficient evidence. Nungesser sued over the mattress project and settled with Columbia in 2017; the school stood by its finding.

Peak economics is thinking buying potash from your neighbour is more expensive than buying potash from a sanctioned country, adjacent to an active warzone, landlocked with no allies that have accessible ports, and 5000 miles away

I canβt believe 2026 saw Canadians start out Canadian, get told by TikTok that weβre Chinese now, narrowly escape getting forced to become American, experience the Super Bowl reveal that weβre LATIN American, and now suddenly weβre European, what a year itβs been

Hi. π Swedish dude here
If you get diabetes and need insulin,
in Sweden it costs you nothing.
Zero.
By law.
Not a coupon. Not a charity program.
The state pays.
Same for the tools that keep you alive. Pumps. Sensors. Needles. Test strips.
Prescribed by a doctor.
Handed over by the state.
You do not ration your dose because the bill is scary. You do not skip a sensor because rent is due.
Sweden has one of the highest rates of type 1 diabetes in the world.
So we decided the treatment should not be a luxury. The society pays.
The person who got sick does not.
Follow for more glimpses into life in a social democracy, where dignity is not a privilege.
Peace βπΌ

Hi. π Swedish dude here.
When our children get sick, we have 60 paid days per year to stay home with them.
Per parent.
They're separate from my 25 paid vacation days.
Meaning I don't have to use my own paid sick leave.
If I'm a single parent: 120 days.
If my child has a chronic illness: 120 days
If my child is hospitalized: unlimited days.
These days reset every January.
By law. every year until child is 18.
Follow for more glimpses into life in a social democracy, where dignity is not a privilege.οΏΌ

As a Canadian I now fully understand why the people of Gondor didn't like living next to Mordor.

Emergency crews are out responding to a massive storm, and Bradβs advisor is sitting in Cobourg mocking Mayor Chow for preparing for extreme weather? π΅βπ«π₯΄
Talk about out of touch. Are these the kind of people who will work in Bradβs office if he wins? progresstoronto.ca/stop-brad
